It could, but it will never be done with a limit amount of spacing on the shoulders of the jerseys that have this new cut. I do not think the new cut could support it unless they make the UCLA stripes thin and not be so big, but otherwise.

 

Colts pull it off okay.

It doesn't look like the Broncos to me. Maybe that'll change in time, but I'm not a bug fan of this design regardless.

 

Also I'm confused on why there are no TV numbers. There's clearly room on the shoulders for them.

Yeah I really don’t like the missing TV numbers trend. I’ll probably get used to it eventually, but with the current jersey designs it just makes those spaces look conspicuously empty. 
 

I’m also finding the Broncos damn near lack of a helmet stripe really jarring. They’ve had at least a somewhat prominent helmet stripe their entire existence.

You want to find something really jarring, after x weeks of unitards and other aesthetic bad decisions, they’ll wear their throwbacks and then come back with even worse combos. That’ll be jarring for me.

If/when the Patriots change their uniforms, I’m praying they go with something along the lines of this. A middle ground between the royal blue flying Elvis shoulder set, the Brady-era set, and the current set. Something that feels natural but stays unique to only them. Nobody really owns the half-and-half stripe in the NFL.

That doesn’t look half-bad.

Color in the entire ing endzone

One of my biggest complaints with the Patriots is how large the UCLA stripes look. Minimizing them would really help with that.

 

I'm also not as huge on TV numbers as other people are, but I believe they would look better than having the sleeve logo present. The latter isn't really needed given that they already have logos on the helmet.

Yup, which is why it'll never happen. Good taste has disappeared in the NFL in the Icy White/Monochrome/White Socks Age.

I know it's easy to assume this, but I really don't the Broncos will be wearing unitards too often this season. In fact, I'll bet you dollars to donuts they'll wear their blue alternate with white pants as Terrell Davis did when he wore the new unis for one of the team's promo videos.

With or without the helmet stripe, the completed pant stripe and (especially) the Navy socks really start to salvage this uniform.  Let's hope Denver at least considers the socks.

The Color Rush trend ruined the general aesthetic tastes of today's football players. Monochrome looks from head to toe aren't going away anytime soon, especially when it comes to blackouts and whiteouts/icey whites ()

 

Speaking of the Broncos, orange pants will be making their debut this weekend in Green Bay. Would have preferred navy pants, but if this graphic is correct, there will be contrasting socks! However, this particular pants/jersey combo makes me think that white helmets were the original primary choice before the 3-helmet rule change. It's a small nitpick, but that orange collar stripe needs to be changed to navy to help balance the look out color-wise. All-in-all though, I think it's nice that Denver is able to open up their wardrobe options more with this new set, especially with the orange/navy color scheme.

I think it's also interesting to note that the last time the Broncos wore orange pants with anything other than the old Color Rush uniform was back in 1979. This will be the first time in 45 years (!) that a blue/white/orange combo will be seen on the field.

I'm less worried about unitards and more worried about them never contrasting their pants and socks and ending up with leggings every week

I sure hope that's not the case, but I worry about that too, since it's up to the players what pant and sock combo is worn from week to week. They're the ones who have to wear them, but their taste level is often questionable.

True, but the team owners will likely be around the team longer than the players. I don't mind the players choosing the pants and socks, but the owners should consider limiting the choices after this year. At least we can see if any combos are a surprise hit.

The owners should consider switching to the throwbacks full-time in 2028. Even the best combos from this set look like a harebrained attempt  to combine Boise State’s style with UVa’s shades of orange and blue.

And why only the Patriots? I'm half expecting some player to show up at practice in a Pat Patriot uni soon.

This continues to be the most half-assed uniform change ever. It's like they forgot they were even making a new set.

It's kinda like they knew the post-Tom Brady era would be the most depressing thing ever and were like "yeah, no one's gonna care about what they trot out in every week just to lose, so why should we put effort into these new uniforms?"

Would be curious to see them use Silver for the number fill, leaving Red/White outlines on Navy and Navy/Red outlines on White.  

Also, the Navy pants should be dropped forever.
